From the open ing ceremony until long after midnight the regatta festivities will be under way, and there will be amusement ga lore for the great crowd of visitors that has thronged to the city by the sea. Thanks to the untiring energy of the chairmen of the various commit tees, a program of rare merit has been arranged for the 10th regatta, and beyond the peradventure of a doubt the 10th regatta will eclipse all other regattas ever held on the Pacific coast. Astoria has taken on gala attire. The business men have vied with each other in an effort to make the city attractive, and the principal streets are masses of fluttering banners. Blue andVhlte are everywhere In evidence. Nearly all of the business buildings have been handsomely decorated with colored lights, and generally Astoria Is tn holiday dress. Since' Saturday the crowds have been arriving In the city and it Is expected by members of the committee that this year's atendance will be greater than that of any previous year. In terest in the regatta is widespread, and visitors have reached the city from all sections of the northwest. Tester day's boats and trains brought large deelgations of regatta visitors, and last .night another big contingent arrived on the Portland express. This morn Ing the crowd will be augmented when the trains and boats arrive, and It is expected that the opening event will be witnessed by fully 7000 strangers. Hundreds will come to the city from the nearby resorts, excellent arrange ments having been made by the trans portation companies to afford seaslders the opportunity of taking in Astoria's big carnival. Arrival of Flagship. The flagship Bailey Gatzert will ar rive this morning from Portland. She will bring Admiral Campbell and the members of his staff, with some hun dreds of ladies and gentlemen from last evening and will probably reach the city at an early hour.

She will ar rive there at 9 o'clock, and immedi ately her majesty will be crowned. The coronation will take place directly In front of the grandstand, where all will have an excellent view. Following the coronation Queen Helen will ascend to the grandstand throne, and there re main, with her court, during the morn- I lng races on the water. Ths Morning Events.

Over Morse's Stre m ut HAUTALA to HA1TTANFW Many Crack Yachts i Entsrsd for ths Races to B Held This Year. The sailing races for this year's re gatta are to be the best and most hot ly contested in the history of Astoria's big carnival. Chairman George VV. Barker of the yacht committee has en tered nine boats for the free for all race this afternoon. They comprise jthe crack yachts of the fast craft of the Oregon Yacht Club, which has never before had such representation. Attracted by the splendid prizes of fered by the regatta committee, the very fleetest yachts In the state will today contest for supremacy, and the struggle will undoubtedly be a memor able one. Following is the list of en tries that were made up to last night: Gadfly, Charles Shively, master; Wizard, Woodward, master; Owyhee, Haskell, master; Agnes, Harris, mas ter; Oriole, DeArey, master; Alta, Ben nett, master; Albatross, ShJppord, mas ter; Zephyr, Nlcols, master; Skylark, Todd, master. AH of these yachts are from the Or egon Yacht Club of Portland. The Wlllapa bay sloops are expected In early this morning. The contest be tween the sloops and the Portland yachts bids fair to be of unusual In terest. Last year the Wizard won out from the Wlllapa bay boats, but this year the sloop captains expect to re gain their lost laurels. Chairman Bar ker was kept busy until late last evening entering the boats and ar ranging the handicaps. There are a number of entries for the fishboat and Whitehall races and no doubt there will be some close fin ishes In these events, as the crack boats of the lower river are to com pete. Altogether, the events this year promise to surpass those of any previ ous regatta. OARSMEN ARE IN ASTORIA. Vancouver Men Expect to Add to Their Collection of Msdals. The Vancouver oarsmen, whose sportsmanship was demonstrated when they agreed to make the long trip from British Columbia after having smash ed up their fine racing shell, are con fident of making a good showing In the local races. Last evening when the Manzanita arrived from Portland Cap- A large and enthusiastic audience s seinbled last evening at the Stadium to witness the performance presented under the management of Chairman J. H. G. West and Manager Carl S Davis. The show went with a dash and vim characteristic of the produc tions of Manager Davis, and congrat ulations poured upon the management In an unbroken stream during the lime the audience dispersed. fore aCocal audience, and was greet- 8:30 p. m. with an overture by the famous Brown's band of I'orUund which will furnish the music at each performance. Following the overture appeared the Sheik brothers In hand-to-hand balancing. The act presented by the Sheck brothers proved to be one of the cleverest ever presented be for an Astoria audience, and was greet ed with round after round of applause. Their hand-to-hand balancing was of a truth marvelous, and loud were the expressions of approval overheard In the audience. The Sheck brothers are truly masters of the art of balancing. accomplishing the most difficult feuts with apparent ease and In the most graceful manner. The appearance of Dana Wright, the tramp cartoonist, was the signal for a burst of laughter, which Increased In volume until the vibration threatened to dislodge the tent from its massive poles. Dana Wright has certainly won for himself a corner In the hearts of Astorluns by his clever work lust even- lng. With lightning like strokes of his crayon he produces cartoons of prominent men In business and politics very laughable In effect. His work is greatly superior to that of any art ist who has ever before appeared in Astoria, and was greatly admired not only by those possessed of an artistic temperament, but the ordinary layman as well. The Chicks were accorded their us ual reecptlon loud and continued ap plause. The Chicks delighted the as sembly with a sketch and were re ceived with decided favor. Their act Is up-to-date and humorous In the extreme. The vocal work of this team was excellent and was of an order higher than Is usually heard on the stage. They are decidedly clever and will doubtless endear themselves to the populace during their engagement at the Stadium. Following the Chicks the greatest marksman In the world. Lone Star Harry, gave an exhibition of his un usual skill with rifles and revolvers. Without question Lone Star Harry is entitled to rank with the greatest marksmen In the universe. His dif ferent feats were greeted with open eyed astonishment, tnd loud were the murmurlngs of astonishment heard among the audience. The crowning feature of his act, the playing of pop ular melodies upon a set of aluminum chimes, was a fitting climax to an act which has never been equaled In the northwest. With unvarying accuracy Lone Star Harry succeeded In strik ing the bullseye of a target while In various difficult positions, and broke glass discs galore with apparent ease. The feat of striking the blade of a common steel knife with a bullet, there by severing It In two equal portions, which, striking two small discs on each side of the bottle on which the knife was lodged, broke them, was really almost beyond human credulence. Lone Star Harry gives the greatest exhibi tion of expert marksmanship ever seen In the northwest, and his engagement is a triumph to the ability of Manager Carl 8. Davis. The three Malverns, world famous acrobats, performed acrobatic feat with grace and agility never equaled by any performers throughout the en tire northwest. Their work Is simply splendid, and something that can be JUST Quality juality. Quality Quality Quality Quality THATS ALU MilWMMMSJBJSMSMMWBaWSWSWWaMB THATS ALL! If 'I ME RELIABLE appreciated not only at one perform ance, but at a second and a third Their Roman ladder ait as produced last evening was unsut'uissable. The Malverns are headllneis Indeed, and with their act alone could fill the larg est auditorium In the country. Manager Davis and Chairman West are to be congratulated Un assemb- ling for presentation during Astoria's 10th annual regatta and street fair one of the best performances ever given n the city, and the Stadium deserves to be filled to overflowing at each show, so deserving Is It of patronage. Manager Davis announced at last evening's performance that two addi tional acts will arrive In the city this morning and be produced this even- ng In addition to the numbers pre sented last evening. This will strength en the Stadium show until It will de serves a rank with the first In the land. There will be three shows dally at the Stadium, one at 4 o'clock p. m., the next at 7:45 p. m. and a third at 9:30 in. and for the HJadlum Is bespoken the liberal patronage of Astoria's guests u ling ii-jiitta week. The statement that the Commercial Club ball leimi will he made up of pro fessionals during the regatta tourna ment is not In keeping with the facts. Iteed Is to do the pitching and White the catching. Doth of these men have located In Astoria and expect to make this city their home. They are first class ball players and funs are con gratulating the club upon the strong addition to the team. Ahercromble has declined to play first base ,and either McDermott Thornhurg or Mar tin will piny that position. Martin has volunteered his services. Roxy Gra ham will play second, Newill will play shortstop, In all probability, and Harry Graham will play third. Stockton will play In left field, Regan will lie In either right or center field, the post lion which he always played before coming to Astoria, and llaldcrmaii will fill the ninth place. ' Morton will ns. slst Reed In the box. The club has been anxious to secure some efficient ball players, and the idea that the sue cess of Its efforts will prove a dls appointment Is singularly ut variance with the facts. Hei tutor want ! see good ball, and the new line-up will Insure this. The Columbia river salmon fisltlmt season practically came to an end' last night, when the fishermen knocked off. They did not tare to continue work during regatta week, and Ihe Chi nese employes were also anxious ti quit. Some of the packing houses may run for a few hours todiiy, but th' lr will be little packing hereafter. Most of the seiners have quit work, and sev. eral autfita reached the c4ty last night from up-river grounds. The seiners have Just about made expenses tHU year, but the glllnetters have reaped a rare harvest. They have never re ceived less than 5 cenls for their fish, and the greatest portion of the offer ings have been delivered by Ihe Indi vidual fishermen. Ho far as the glll netters are concerned, the season has been most successful, and several of' the men have made small fortunes dur ing the year. Figures as to the total pack will not be available for a few. days. jk Ths Death Penalty. A little thing sometimes results lr. death. Thus a mere scratch, Insignifi cant cuts or puny bolls have paid the death penalty. It Is wise to have Bucklen's Arnica Salve ever handy. It's ths best Salve on earth and will: prevent fatality, when Burns, Sores, Ulcers and Plies threaten. Only 25c, at Chas.
